Sometimes yes, sometimes no. In the lower price blends such as the Jacob's Creek, bulk grapes are sourced from many places. The different varieties of grapes are then blended in the same proportions year in year out. Jump up to the next price point ($10-$20), and you find more care in the blending. Last night I posted on an Australian blend that had the proportions change significantly from one year to the next: http://wines.com/ubb2/Forum14/HTML/000084.html
